A fragmented editorial style piece references Prize Fighter Fitzsimmons in a comic opera, noting attempts at humor and the political climate.

In Williams County a Labor Day gathering branded as a Democratic meeting was controlled by Bryanites, with rivals withdrawing and a boss nomination process. The piece also notes anti saloon league fundraising and hints at political force in Ohio.
The text weaves a jumble of naval lore with a digressive note on the Taggart divorce case. It references ships christened with waters from historic places and cites the New York World's Wooster joke, ending with a potato prize anecdote about a young attorney and his Early Puritans and Early Roses spuds.
A signed statement from a former judge, an attorney, a clergyman and a contractor in Cleveland challenges the Brannoch law, accusing league managers of muddying terms like block frontage and premises abutting on the street to mislead the public about wet territory thresholds.
